Need help in caculation

[EAS]

I am of need of guidance on how I could rectify this issue.

The following are information on how the FRx report is setup.

Column: A and H Month and Year to Date Actual; B and I Month and Year to
Date Budget; C and J are Actual vs Budget Varainces
The Calculation for C and J are B-A and I-H. This should result into
Favorable and (Unfavorable Variance) assigned XCR under Print Control.

Row: Row 30 - Total Revenue Row 60 - Total Expense Row 35 - Excess
of Revenues over Expenses: Rows 1 to 29 are various Revenue
lineitems (assigned C for Normal Bal.) Row 32 to 59 are various Expense
linetitems

My problem is on the calculation of the Excess of Revenues over Expenses for
the Variances. WHile the claculation for the Variance works well for the
individual lineitems from 1 to 29 and 32 to 59 and the Excess of Revenues
over Expenses (row 35) formula calcualtes the correct variances for Columns
A, B, H, and I, it does caculate the correct amount for C and J. See below
tabular example.

ACTUAL (Col A) Budget (Col B) Var
(Col C)
Revenue 2,355 2,340
14
Expense 2,949 4,133
1,184
Excess of Revenues over Expenses: (593) (1,792) (1,199)
The correct variance is 1,199

The Excess of Revenues over Expenses Variance (Col C) is also performing the
same calcualtion as Col B - Col A.

Any insights would be much appreciated.

EAS,

Two things, first on the FRx problem, you just need to put a "C" in the
Normal Bal field of row 35. That will reverse the calculated amount from
(1,199) to 1,199.

Secondly, I have been having issues with this newsgroup as it was supposed
to be shut down months ago. I notice it says my post did not go through but
it really does, and I have duplicate posts in other threads.

If you have any further questions or problems please feel free to contact me
at Rob.I...@MSXGroup.com. You shoul also sign up for our newsletter with
